Lyric

The room is quieter than before

No footsteps crossing back

Your glass is sitting by the edge

A fingerprint along the side

An hour ago your voice was sharp

I wanted it to stop

Now every corner of this place

Feels strange without the sound

Stagnant blue above the rooftops

Nothing moving for a while

I thought peace would feel much lighter

After all we said tonight

But I miss the way you filled the room

Even when the words went wrong

The clock sounds louder from the hallway

Now that your voice is gone

I touch two fingers to my neck

The beat is slow but hard

A motor starts somewhere below

Then fades beyond the block

Your coat is gone from by the door

The hook keeps swinging slightly

I watch it settle into place

And wish it wouldn't yet

Stagnant blue above the rooftops

Nothing moving for a while

I thought peace would feel much lighter

After all we said tonight

But I miss the way you filled the room

Even when the words went wrong

The clock sounds louder from the hallway

Now that your voice is gone

We said enough to hurt each other

Then stood there out of words

You looked toward the open doorway

I stared down at the floor

One thing you said keeps coming back

Not even the cruelest part

I don't want that night again

But I wouldn't undo you

Stagnant blue above the rooftops

Morning thinning at the edge

Your glass is where you left it

My pulse still high beneath my neck

I still miss the way you filled the room

Even knowing what it cost

A strip of pale blue clears the buildings

While the hook beside the door goes still
